Summary: 
This letter describes an MOS operational transconductance amplifier and an MOS four-quadrant analog multiplier using the quadritail cell, which provides an output current proportional to the square of a differential input voltage. As a result, a linear transconductance amplifier and a quarter-squarer multiplier can be obtained in theoretical circuit analysis.
